1. If you would like us to quote your project, please call or submit the Quote Request Form.
2. It is very important to read and follow the Audio and Graphic guidelines.

4. Register/Log in to fill out your Duplication Order form, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) form, and Track List.
5. Please select a shell color. Our website is updated when colors change.
6. Please choose between imprinting or laser-printed labels. Please use the appropriate high resolution template (imprint or label).

10. Select your case option; we have various colors of Norelco boxes: all clear, black & clear, blue & clear, and white & clear. Soft poly boxes are also an option.
11. If you want to use download cards, design your card and get the codes from a digital music hosting service (like Bandcamp).

13. Fill out your forms online or email your forms to jkemna@nactape.com or include them with your files for art and audio.
